Nox. It was the city beyond the veil, where the sun never shone and night was eternal. Situated parallel to the mortal realm, Nox was well hidden by a barrier only crossable by those touched by the darkness. While more than one species could cross worlds, it is Vampirekind that ruled with an iron fist. Politics were always a ruthless game, but much more cutthroat when eternity wasn?t far off from the truth and debts are literally paid in blood. It is a modern world run like a feudal system of old, built on slavery and run by royal lines. Nox, it was no place for free humans.

But what if a human found its way into the land of night?

The door closed, exiting the last appointment of the day. A tall figure was all that remained in the sterile room, painted from ceiling to floor in white. A large chair, imposing, was made of stainless steel and sat at the front of the room. A dozen of smaller chairs lined a row on either side of a carpet that stopped short of the dais that the large chair sat on. The setup was awfully familiar of a throne room, with the sole figure sitting on the throne.

Nikolas visibly relaxed as the door shut. Lengthy fingers covered his face, pressing a middle finger to his forehead and his thumb to his temple as if to relieve pressure. The moment was short lived. A knock on the door echoed through the empty hall. His hand dropped and posture straightened to the tall six-foot-five.

?Come in.? His voice, dark like warm chocolate and tinged with an accent not quite placed rang out.

The door cracked and in entered another man clad in black, his bulging muscles visible beneath the skintight black shirt and slacks. A curled cord stretched from an earpiece and down the back of his shirt. The security detailed walked the long steps to the end of the carpet and abruptly stopped to bow, one knee down and an arm across his chest like a Roman soldier before his Caesar.

?Speak, Kern.? Nikolas said, eyes bearing down on the man.

?My lord,? Spoke the now named man, ?A human has breached the veil. It is wandering the perimeter.?

Eyes narrowed, ?How??

?We haven?t yet received any further details.? Kern replied.

?Perhaps we should extend some courtesy and have them escorted in.? Nikolas said.

?Yes My Lord.? Kern replied, taking a step back and up, exiting towards the door without so much as a glance at the man on the throne.

?Oh, and Kern-? Nikolas called after the man before he slipped through the door. ?Please send in Alice, I may be in need of her services this afternoon.?

Nikolas was certain he saw a ripple of fear and disgust run through Kern as the door shut behind him. Such a reaction caused a wicked grin to tug at the corners of his lips. His eyes darkened.
